 first of all i have reposted this because it represents an effort at an honest and intelligent discussion which is something i haven't expected from a Carnivore so it must be applauded 

but i am going to disagree with you on snacking.  there is nothing wrong with it.  Hunter Gatherers have GRAZED on things like Berries, so it actually comes down to 2 things: 

1 - what is the snack ?  if the snack is something like Beef Jerky then there is nothing wrong with it.  i have actually purchased some Beef Jerky two days ago that i will use on my upcoming trip to Florida.  if on other hand the snack is a donut then yes cut it out ...

2 - are snacks used in place of meals or IN ADDITION to meals ?  if you snack you should not have meals and vice versa - you should either graze or eat not both.  if you do both you will be eating too much.

likewise you should either fast or count calories.  each one makes the other unnecessary but you need one of the two.  

you can't eat, snack, not fast and not count calories and not exercise and expect to be thin.

you must at some point introduce some kind of restriction to your diet or you will be like everybody else.  it is not that important what that restriction is - but it has to be restrictive enough to produce results.
